New Mexico Minerals, Virginia Residence

New Mexico and Virginia are on opposite ends of the country. The producing areas of southeastern New Mexico are over 1,800 miles from Northern Virginia, making hands-on management virtually impossible.

Many Virginia residents own New Mexico minerals through inheritance or past investments in the Permian Basin. The Delaware Basin portion of southeast New Mexico has become one of the most active drilling regions in the country:

Understanding New Mexico mineral and pooling laws

Dealing with multiple operators in Lea and Eddy counties

Tracking production across different formations

Filing New Mexico income tax returns for royalty income

Major New Mexico Producing Areas

Delaware Basin

The western portion of the Permian Basin, one of the most active drilling regions in North America. Counties: Lea, Eddy. Multiple pay zones: Wolfcamp, Bone Spring, Avalon.

Permian Basin (NM Portion)

Southeast New Mexico shares the prolific Permian Basin with West Texas.

San Juan Basin

Northwest New Mexico natural gas production. Counties: San Juan, Rio Arriba. Mature basin with legacy production.

Other Areas

Production also occurs in Chaves, Roosevelt, and other counties with varying levels of activity.

The Distance Challenge

Driving from Arlington, VA to Carlsbad, New Mexico (heart of the Delaware Basin) is over 1,800 miles and would take more than 26 hours of non-stop driving. Flying requires connections through Dallas or Phoenix.

Many Virginia residents inherited New Mexico minerals from family who worked in the oil fields, ranched in southeastern New Mexico, or invested in the Permian during earlier booms. Converting these distant assets to cash eliminates the ongoing management burden.
